Value Collection R52001238 Hex Nut 9/16-12 Un Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001238 is a 9/16-12 UN steel hex nut designed for standard right-hand threaded fastener applications. It measures 7/8 inches across the flats and stands 31/64 inches high, making it a commonly used hardware component in mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment fabrication. The zinc-plated finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty outdoor use. This nut conforms to the UN (Unified National) thread standard and is intended for use by tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need a reliable, standard-geometry hex nut for high-volume or everyday fastening work.

This hex nut is suited for a wide range of trade and industrial applications, including HVAC equipment assembly, pipe support structures, electrical enclosure mounting, and general mechanical maintenance. It is appropriate for use in both residential and light commercial settings wherever a 9/16-12 UN threaded bolt or stud is present. The right-hand thread direction is the industry standard, making this nut compatible with the vast majority of UN-threaded fastener systems encountered in the field.

Key Features

• 9/16-12 UN thread size and pitch for broad fastener compatibility
• Right-hand thread direction — standard orientation for most mechanical assemblies
• Steel construction provides solid mechanical strength for general-duty use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection in typical service environments
• 7/8 inches across flats fits standard 7/8-inch hex wrench or socket
• Compact 31/64-inch height suits tight clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental hex nut for any assembly using 9/16-12 UN right-hand threaded bolts or studs. No specific model or system compatibility data was provided with this product.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 9/16-12 UN bolt or stud, then tightening with a 7/8-inch wrench or socket. Always ensure the mating threaded fastener is clean and free of debris before assembly. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant codes such as ASME or AISC for the specific structural or mechanical application. Do not use impact tools at excessive settings on zinc-plated nuts, as this can damage the plating and compromise corrosion protection.
